Ross Wherity is an Irish sportsperson. A Gaelic footballer with the Naomh Adhamhnáin club, he has been a member of the Donegal inter-county team at under-21, minor and senior levels.
Known for his tendency not to settle with one team (or even one sport), Wherity has also been in Australia to play Australian rules football, in Poland as part of an attempt to make it at a major soccer tournament and was last known to be playing Championship football for New York.
For his club Wherity has played and scored in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship, where his team have progressed as far as the semi-finals. His play for his club has been praised by former Armagh manager Joe Kernan. He was missing after going to Poland for UEFA Euro 2012.
He scored as Donegal won their first Ulster minor title in 10 years at Croke Park in 2006. He also impressed for the Donegal U-21 team.
He scored a goal for the county senior team in the 2009 Dr. McKenna Cup. He was also on the 2010 Dr. McKenna Cup team.
He returned to the Donegal team for the 2013 National Football League, immediately thrown into the starting line-up for the opening game against Kildare at Croke Park due to an injury suffered by Mark McHugh. Fouled in the fifth minute, with captain Michael Murphy popping over the resulting free, he then spent the remainder of the game tripping and falling over a lot on his face. He started the next game as well, a home tie against Down, and from the full forward position ended with a final total of one point. In the third game of Donegal's league campaign, against Tyrone at Healy Park, he tripped and fell over himself in the opposition penalty area shortly before half-time, just before Donegal captain Michael Murphy was sent off. Minus Murphy for the second half (meaning he was one of Donegal's main attacking threats left on the field of play), he was through on goal at one point but scuffed a shot wide; Donegal lost. In the fourth game of Donegal's league campaign, against Kerry, he was knocked over yet again and another penalty given, which Murphy scored.
